    Am mating the Garrard with a Thomas Schick 12". Read that its recommended to use a 12" as it would reduce the vibration of the motor on the tonearm as it is further away, which made some sense. Nonetheless, a good plinth material that would absorb resonances is just as important. Either a heavy mass plywood plinth (like the plinths made by Jean Nantais) or some material with good damping properties like slate would be good; though the latter in that large a dimension is pretty hard to find in Singapore.

    Was also considering bonding marble with delrin. Marble is very resonant but has a heavy mass, while the delrin would damp the resonance of the marble pretty well. Using either on its own isn't recommended as delrin only would over-damp the table and marble would "ring" like a bell.

    Katie Melua "The Katie Melua Collection" Canadian Pressing

    There seems to be some "digital noise/buzzing" in the background on the first track :angry: . Not sure if anyone has heard this. Its pretty faint and intermittent in the first 1-2 minutes IIRC, need to listen for it. Wonder if other pressings also the same. Well, I got so irritated by it and don't listen to the 1st track anymore :ppth: and those who know me, know that I'm a bit "deaf" :wacko: so this is pretty bad :no: So, Jojo, think you better stay away from this one, though I think this kind of music may not be your cup of tea :grin:

    Perhaps deep deep deep DEEP DEEP down inside you realy wanted to do that? :P:P:P

    Well, that's why we always, knowingly or unknowingly, try to find fault with our systems when we want to upgrade.

    But your subconscious mind is really :blink: ... determined? :grin:

    :shocking:

     

    OMG... another one bites the dust. Nooo!!!! :no:

     

    Watch out watch out!

     

    Haha.... hey bro, I've been thinking about the other time I listened to your amp+HD800 and remembered that it sounded a bit cold & analytical for me. Now come to think of it, I think that a vinyl source may be what you NEED! With it, I think your rig will be :drool::drool::drool:

     

    Maybe that's why RSA came out with a NEW affordable phono?! Ain't that just fantastic timing? Looks like it's just meant to be. One of you favourite amp builders has just created a new phono for "you". Wld definitely be a match in heaven for your "American Indian".

     

    Just my 2 cents.... :innocent:
